About the book >.>.> A New York Times bestselling author and progenitor of the epic series A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin is among an elite group of today’s most popular fantasy novelists. His tales of medieval history tinged with fantasy and mysticism are tailor-made for the comic-book storytelling medium. Continuing two years after the events of Martin’s The Hedge Knight came to a close Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword follows the unlearned-yet-earnest Ser Dunk as the memories of his exploits at Ashford Meadow still hover over him. His search to become a great knight brings him and his irreverent squire Egg to the fiefdom of Ser Eustace a nobleman haunted by faded glory and hiding secrets that may inevitably compromise Ser Dunk’s oath of loyalty. As a drought ravages Eustace’s lands Dunk finds himself embroiled in a water-rights dispute between the aged knight who employs him and Lady Rohanne the ominously named “Red Widow” who many say threatens both the fire and the sword to anyone whom she deems a threat. Indeed the Red Widow has left behind a trail of dead husbands and brothers adding to the whispers that she is a fearsome power to cross at one’s peril. As Dunk finds his loyalty to his lord tested against a flowering passion for the diminutive firebrand Lady Rohanne he struggles to find his way to a conclusion that avoids death and bloodshed to negotiate some kind of peace between two sides that seem fated for war. But as a sworn sword Dunk finds that that may be too much to expect.
